Who are the Holocaust Revisionists?
Holocaust Revisionists are not a homogenous group.
Our numbers include Jews (Josef G. Burg, Roger-Guy Dommergue, David
Cole, Stephen Hayward); Christians (Germar Rudolf, Michael A. Hoffman,
Robert Countess); Muslims (Ibrahim Alloush, Ahmed Rami) and Atheists
(Bradley Smith, Robert Faurisson).
Paul Rassinier, a professor of geography and history, was a fighter of
the French Resistance who spent many years in German concentration
camps. He disputed the misrepresentations of fellow inmates E. Kogon
and others and thereby became the founder of Holocaust Revisionism.
Some Revisionists suffered persecution by the National Socialist
regime as well as internment in concentration camps (Paul Rassinier,
Josef G. Burg). Others are Army veterans of World War II, from both
the German and Allied armies (Werner Rademacher, Wilhelm Stäglich,
Douglas Collins.)
Some Revisionists are professors (Prof. Robert Faurisson, Prof. Arthur
R. Butz, Prof. Christian Lindtner, Prof. Costas Zaverdinos) and some
have Ph.D degrees (Dr. Wilhelm Stäglich, Dr. Robert Countess, Dr.
Stephen Hayward, Dr. Herbert Tiedemann). Some are Diploma Chemists,
Physicists and Engineers (Michael Gärtner, Germar Rudolf, Arnulf
Neumaier, Friedrich Berg), Historians (Mark Weber, Robert Countess,
Carlo Mattogno), as well as teachers in other fields, such as Jürgen
Graf.
The ranks of Holocaust Revisionists include Communists and Socialists
(Paul Rassinier, Roger Garaudy), moderate Leftists (Pierre Guillaume,
Serge Thion), Liberals (Andrew Allen, David Cole, Bradley Smith,
Richard Widmann), Conservatives (Germar Rudolf, Carlo Mattogno, Werner
Rademacher), Rightists (Udo Walendy, Mark Weber) and National
Socialists (Ernst Zündel). Since the author does not consider it
important to classify revisionists according to political orientation,
he can not vouch for the correctness of these designations.
Included also are Frenchmen (Robert Faurisson, Pierre Guillaume, Roger
Garaudy, Paul Rassinier, Vincent Reynouard, Jean Plantin), Americans
(Bradley Smith, Mark Weber, Arthur Butz, Richard Widmann, Fredrick
Leuchter), Germans (Germar Rudolf, Werner Rademacher, Michael Gärtner,
Arnulf Neumaier, Wilhelm Stäglich), Swiss (Jürgen Graf, Arthur Vogt),
Italians (Carlo Mattogno), Spaniards (Enrique Aynat), Jordanians
(Ibrahim Alloush), Moroccans (Ahmed Rami), Swedes, Danes, Britons,
Poles, and Russians, to name just a few.
